Agora Deposit: Q 10:2

Title:		Chamber Tomb at Southeast Corner of Pier 12
Category:		Burial
Description:		Mycenaean Grave at SE corner of Pier 12 (Burial 9). There are no traces of dromos, which must have been located at the north and have been cut away by the trench four the south stylobate of the Square Building. The dimensions of the chamber are 1.60m east-west by a preserved length of 1.40m north-south. The walls were preserved to a height of 0.065m, and the grave was full of broken bedrock with a little soft brown silt around the bones. The broken bedrock plus the presence of more than one burial is certain indication of a chamber tomb rather than a pit grave. The two skeletons lay along the east side, more or less in order, with the bones resting directly on the bedrock floor
